Claimant v NHS Professionals Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
This was a preliminary hearing to consider strike out or deposit order.

The claim will proceed to a full hearing.
Facts
This is a preliminary hearing concerning a claim for unlawful deduction of wages brought by Mr Iriakannu against NHS Professionals Limited. The respondent applied to have the claim struck out or for a deposit order to be made. The judgment does not set out the underlying factual circumstances of the wage claim.
Decision
The tribunal refused to strike out the claim or make a deposit order, finding that the claim for unlawful deduction of wages cannot be said to have no reasonable prospect of success (for strike out) or little reasonable prospect of success (for deposit order). The claim will proceed to a full hearing listed for 20 November 2025.
Practical note
A self-represented claimant successfully resisted a respondent's application for strike out and deposit order in a wage claim, demonstrating the claim had sufficient merit to proceed to a full hearing.
